Cellulite affects almost all women at some point in their lives, regardless of age, race, or weight.

There are hundreds of creams, potions, lotions, machines, and therapies out there for cellulite reduction.

If you've tried something that works as advertised, let us know about it so we can review it and inform our visitors.

One of the best methods for combatting cellulite creation is to drink plenty of liquids, exercise regularly, and massage cellulite-prone areas regularly.

Cellulite - learn more about this problem and what can and cannot be done about it
Cellulite is a combination of fat cells and fibrous connective tissue under the skin. It is usually found on women on the hips, thighs, or buttocks.

While the exact causes of cellulite formation aren't fully understood, we do know that:
  • Cellulite does not exist only for overweight women.  Thin women have the problem, too.
  • Older people have more cellulite than younger people.
  • Women experiencing puberty, menstruation, or menopause are more likely to develop cellulite due to hormonal changes.
  • No cure exists for 100% cellulite removal

Although no pill, cream, lotion, potion, or powder is known to be 100% effective in curing cellulite, there are some steps you can take to reduce existing cellulite and slow the build-up of additional cellulite.

  • Do not become dehydrated.
  • Drink plenty of water.
  • Avoid caffiene, candy, alcohol, and high fat foods.
  • Get enough fiber in your diet.
  • Avoid diuretics and laxatives (except as truly necessary).
  • Get regular exercise.

Cellulite appears as sort of an orange-peel texture just under the skin. Excess weight tends to exaggerate its appearance. Losing weight will not rid your body of cellulite, but will reduce its appearance. Exercise and massage have been shown to greatly improve the condition.

If you have developed a routine of exercise or diet that has had a dramatic improvement on your cellulite problem, e-mail us your story. Be sure to include your initials, city, and state so that we can include the information with your story.
